@BackFromTheDud it's not a nursery rhyme, it's a poem

[occasionalducks@c.im]

@BackFromTheDud

The law condemns the man or woman
Who takes a goose from off the common
But geese will still a common lack
Until we go and steal it back

[sinabhfuil@mastodon.ie]

@BackFromTheDud Also:
God made the bees
And the bees make the honey.
The miller’s men do all the work
But the miller makes the money.

@BackFromTheDud
Over 250 years later this is still valid.

(Edit: 250 years, not 350! My mistake)

@BackFromTheDud When you see the state of the UK it looks like not enough people sang this nursery rhyme to their kids.

"When Adam delved and Eve span
Who was then the gentleman?"
